More Details About This Video:
Sometimes you will feel or hear a popping, cracking, or clicking in your knee. This often is from osteoarthritis (OA). When you don't have a lot of time to stretch out your knees, you have to pick the most important stretches. This video shows you the top 3 knee stretches. There are three main muscle groups that cross the knee, and it is important to cover each of these.
The first stretch is for the hamstrings. There are many ways to stretch them, and you can check out the hamstring stretches video for other ways to stretch them. The most important part of this stretch is to keep your back straight. Many people try to curl their backs to be able to touch their toes. Your hamstrings are attached to what is called the ischial tuberosity, or your butt bone. So if you bend at your back, you are not going to get a good hamstring stretch. Try to bend at your hips.
The second stretch is for your calf muscle, or gastrocnemius muscle. Keep your leg straight, and now take the belt or leash and place it on the ball of your foot. Relax your leg and then pull your foot towards you. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, 3 times.
The third and last stretch will be on your stomach in prone. This will stretch your quadriceps muscle. Take a belt or dog leash and wrap around your foot/ankle. Take the strap and gently pull your foot towards your buttocks until you feel a stretch. Hold for 30 seconds and do it 3 times.

Do you have any videos about doing knee stretch exercises when your lumbar spine won't let you sit on the floor like this?
Just seen this, thank you 🙏🏿
Gamecocks!!
I missed your call beautiful dogs 🐕 on this video. ☺️As usual, Fantastic content!
When I sit on the floor, lace my fingers in front of my shin, and try to gently pull my heel towards my buttock, I get a “tightness” pain across the length of my knee. It feels like a 2 inch strap is inside my knee with no elasticity.
I cycle a lot and I hike on trails. Including backpacking. I stretch 5 days a week. Calisthenics and bands 5 days a week. Cycle 70+ miles a week on a training tour bike – 60 pound bike, in the hills of East Tennessee.
Is this a quad issue? Should i try to stretch the quad more or differently?
Thanks for the effective videos. I like them.
My knees really hurt whenever I try to squat the pain is so bad and I'm only 15 do u know if this or anything else will help
Just started a new job where its physical on the legs like 10hr of running or more i hope this helps my left leg knee cap on left side is aching so I'll let you know this comming week 🤞🏻🤞🏻

What stretches help with clicking? Left and right knee click a bit when I squat, I'm starting to apply the knees over toes guys stuff and that's helping but that's more knee strength
